Many many years ago my mother brought home from the store for me a magazine. She often did this when she was out grocery shopping and I was in school. I would come home to find this little gift of a new magazine and a bit of candy or a new shade of nail polish. I was always delighted to find these little treasures.
The particular magazine of which I write of was Victoria magazine. Romance, grace, serenity, and charm are how it is described. For me it was an escape from the 'ordinary' magazines filled with $5000 couture coats that I would most likely never wear. Victoria was also hugely inspirational. There were always women entrepreneurs featured in each issue.
I keep notebooks full of things that I find beautiful and that inspire me and there are many many pages from Victoria magazines in there. But alas, several years ago I received a notice that Victoria would no longer be published. It was one of those moments where you remember exactly where you were standing when you heard the news. There was a letter that was sent and I was allowed to pick another magazine to fill in for the remainder of my subscription. There was simply no other magazine that would fill the shoes of Victoria.
Apparently I was not the only one to feel this way. Victoria is back! Not only is it back in print but it has a fantastic web presence which can be found here.
Enjoy.
